 Sure is.  You just have to read the dpkg | aptitude | apt-get man pages and
 look the the purge command.


Right.
I managed to get rid of the second line by issuing:
# dpkg --forget-old-unavail

But the first one changed status to (don't know for sure when):
un  libera-gbethnone
 (no description available)

# dpkg -P libera-gbeth
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libera-gbeth which isn't installed.
# dpkg --forget-old-unavail
# dpkg -l libera-gbeth
un  libera-gbethnone
 (no description available)
# dpkg --force-all -r libera-gbeth
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libera-gbeth which isn't installed.
# dpkg -r libera-gbeth
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove libera-gbeth which isn't installed.

Thank you,
HK
